Al Pacino’s in talks to star in an indie adaptation of the nonfiction bestseller Blink.
He’ll play a father who reunites with his twentysomething son and discovers the son has the (apparently non-supernatural) ability to size people and situations up immediately. Naturally, the father tries to use his talents in the stock market, or something. The plot’s a little fuzzy, but hey, it sounds better than 88 Minutes.
Stephen Gaghan (Traffic) wrote the screenplay, and according to Reuters the production is seeking “younger actors, some with tween appeal” to star as the son. Al Pacino and Adam Brody? Al Pacino and Zac Efron? It could happen. Al Pacino and Joe Jonas? I hope not.
